Yep, I have been using it for about 2 days and seems fine, I will add this to Akita... I wonder, is there any real problems with UPX'ing the binary? It saves about 300kb, and I didn't notice any problems..._________________Akita Linux, VLC-GTK, Pup Search, Pup File Search

1. It shouldn't save 300kb when you put it in an .sfs (although I'm surprised - it does actually save 40kb).
2. The only problem you're likely to encounter with upxing is that ldd doesn't work on a upxed executable. But I don't think I've ever see anyone needing to ldd rox..._________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

But it unpacks into less RAM..

Neither have I, that's why I was thinking about it.. I tested for a day or so, seemed fine... Would need to test all features, on an older PC to know for sure though, I guess.._________________Akita Linux, VLC-GTK, Pup Search, Pup File Search

Do you mean when you run it? (No - it loads into the same amount of ram)
Or if/when your Puppy copies the entire contents of the main .sfs into ram?

Do you mean you would need to test all features of the upxed program, and on an older post? I don't think so._________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

Sorry, no, there is another problem. If someone strips a upxed executable for some reason, it will be permanently broken. Also, things like rox describe upxed executables as "statically linked", which could cause confusion._________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

here it is with latest git:
compiled with the -u user name support
removed the automatic display if running as root
(usually people remove the user requested version trying to eliminate the unrequested "running as user root")
no longer requires glade
It is smaller due to compiler optimizations, not upx-ing

I just packed the actual binary, feel free to make your own pet/puplet with it.

Woohoo!
What is left now that requires glade? gtkdialog doesn't really - AFAIK there isn't anybody using its glade functionality._________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

Short Note about Rocket's and technosaurus's ROX-FILER-2.11 binaries :

1 . They both require GLIBC >=2.7 , so wont work on Puppy 4 series
2 . Both Rocket's and technosaurus's binaries dont show the show_user_message
3 . Since ROX-Filer -v 2.10 opening rox /proc tends to freeze the whole filer there @/proc
-> needs killall ROX-Filer and both Rocket's and technosauros's have the same behaviour . This behaviour appears mainly with save-file , not in PUPMODE=5 .

I have compiled ./AppRun --compile rox-2.10 with
/usr/include/apsymbols.h

on Puppy 431 and my rox-2.10 still freezes @/proc directory , but killing the window does not kill the whole filer incl pinboard .

NOTE : I am testing this on Racy ATM , where the default ROX-Filer does freeze @/proc , so thats why i tried the both binaries from Rocket and technosaurus .

NOTE : rox-2.7.1 compiled in Puppy 431 does not freeze @/proc in Racy , but I have to work on the show_user_message part .

Also most files are shown as gtk-icon-stock question for now .
[edit=2011_11_01]
the naming for the /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX/MIME files apparently changed between version 2.7.1 and 2.10 :
former /mime-application:pdf.png
to /application-pdf.png
for exemple
